Have I made a mistake

You need 1.3 I believe
Looks like I may have to resort to manual focusing for the champions league qualifier I'm shooting on Tuesday!
Not very fast on my K10D to be honest.
I bought mine with the K-7 in mind though, and the fact it was cheap(ish) at the time.
Well I'm glad it is not just me. Now does anyone know how to convince my wife that a K7 is worth it.

Tested my DA* 60-250 on 3 K-7s in total, 2 early pre-production models which I had for testing (swapped them over half way through - cheers Will!) and the reps model in store at SRS. The K-7's I had were slightly faster, but the rep's model was substantially faster which is why I never did any reports on the focussing speed. If the production models are as fast as the K-7 I tried in store, then yes you will love it! The K-7 also focuses a lot better in lower light than the K20 / K10.
But is it £1,000 better?
You are using continuous AF?
Pretty much. I use the AF button on the back of the camera. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I found the Bigma focused quicker.

I shoot a lot of sport and am currently disappointed with the focusing speed when combined with my K10d. Shooting for example football, and when a player is running towards me the focus is always behind the play.
Maybe I should have spent the money on a K7 instead.
How do other people find the focus speed on this lens?
